Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gas-cooled welding gun for an arc welding apparatus having the features of claim 1.
  • Welding pistols also known as welding torches, are those elements of an arc welding device in which - ignited by a protective gas - ignited at the welding site of the arc and the welding wire and the material to be welded melted at the interface and mixed to form an intimate connection with each other.
  • the thermal energy for melting the material is achieved electrically with high currents in the arc welding technique.
  • the currents required for this purpose are supplied to the welding point via a current contact tube guided in the interior of the welding gun, which typically has in its interior a wire guide channel through which the welding wire is fed to the welding point.
  • a jacket tube is guided around the current contact tube, in the area between these elements the protective gas is transported to the welding point, and a cooling device is provided for diverting the thermal energy generated during welding in this space.
  • the protective gas causes the weld to be sealed off from the ambient air and in particular prevents the penetration of oxygen, the protective gas acting as pure inert gas (in MIG welding), but also having an influence on the welding process
  • the current contact tube located in the outer tube is coated with insulation as a whole, e.g. with a few-fold to a few millimeters thick plastic shrink film, which provides a secure electrical insulation.
  • the development according to the invention is characterized in that it is dispensed with a complete insulation of the current contact tube by applying a corresponding electrically insulating layer and only in partial areas of the gap spacers which are formed sufficiently rigid, between the current contact tube and outer tube are arranged to comply with a To ensure distance.
  • These spacers have corresponding passage structures for passing the protective gas, so as not to interrupt the protective gas guide channel formed between the current contact tube and the outer tube, but to ensure a reliable passage of the protective gas and supply thereof to the exit point in the welding area.
  • the protective gas used for cooling the welding gun enters into direct contact with the electrically conductive material of the current contact tube and thereby can achieve a significantly improved heat absorption compared to the situation with intervening insulating layer.
  • the second measure according to the invention is that the current contact tube has surface-enlarging structures in regions in which the spacers are not arranged and in which it is exposed to the surface of the electrically conductive material in the intermediate space. This can e.g. Cooling fins (see claim 3), but also other types of structures that lead to an increase in surface area.
  • the inventive measures thus a significantly improved heat dissipation from the welding gun can be achieved, so that at the same adjusted gas volume flow, the welding gun can be kept at a lower temperature or to set a predetermined maximum temperature, a lower gas flow is required. This helps to increase the life of such a welding gun and can also contribute to a reduction in the consumption of the medium inert gas.
  • the outer tube is exposed in the areas where no spacers are arranged, with the surface of the electrically conductive material in the intermediate space. This leads to a correspondingly improved effect of heat transfer even at this interface and additionally supports the improved cooling effect.
  • the spacers have proven to be particularly stable and reliable when - as provided in a development of the invention - a resting on the outside of the current contact tube, this enclosing first annular portion, a voltage applied to the inside of the inner tube second annular portion (in particular also continuously is formed) and between the annular portions has this with the omission of gaps spoke-like connecting connecting webs.
  • Such a design of the spacers which can also extend over a certain axial length, proves to be particularly stable even under load, as they may result due to different thermal expansions and thus deformations of the outer tube relative to the current contact tube.
  • Such spacers need only be arranged in comparatively small numbers in the space between the current contact tube and the outer tube in order to reliably maintain the distance to be maintained, so that wide areas of said elements with their electrically conductive surfaces can directly face the gap and be exposed to it. so that the improved heat dissipation effect occurs particularly well.
  • even wide areas of the current contact tube can be provided with structures that increase the surface area, which contributes to good heat dissipation.
  • the spacers preferably consist overall of an electrically insulating material, which in particular may be an electrically insulating plastic, but preferably such a ceramic. Ceramic again has the advantage that it is very durable and high static, as well as in any case can be exposed to the required dynamic loads, without fear of destruction. But so that the distance to be maintained between current contact tube and outer tube can be reliably maintained with such elements.
  • the current contact tube usually made of copper
  • the outer tube often made of stainless steel.
  • the welding gun according to the invention can be designed both for use on a welding machine as well as for hand-held use.
  • Figure 1 is a sectional side view of a welding gun according to the invention with straight course.
  • Fig. 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 same welding gun, but not completely cut, but only partially cut away.
  • FIG. 3 shows a view like FIG. 2 of an alternative welding gun according to the invention with a curved pipe run
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic plan view of a first embodiment of a possible spacer
  • Fig. 5 is a schematic plan view of a second embodiment of a possible spacer.
  • a welding gun with essential elements is shown in a sectional side view and generally designated 1.
  • the welding gun 1 has at a rear connection end 2 a union nut 3 for connection to a corresponding connection of a media supply, e.g. a so-called hose package, on.
  • the terminal end 2 is opposite the welding end 4, which is a front end of the welding gun 1.
  • a current contact tube 6 has in its interior a wire guide channel 7, guided by the welding wire during operation and spent at the welding end 4.
  • the current contact tube 6 is made of metal, in particular of copper, and serves in addition to the supply of the welding wire through the wire guide channel 7 in its interior and the bringing of the welding current to the welding end 4. With the help of this welding current, the arc is ignited at the welding end 4 for melting the welding wire as well as the material to be welded at the weld.
  • a gap 8 is formed, which also represents a duct for supplying to the welding end 4 inert gas.
  • the protective gas is transferred in the connection end 2 of a corresponding media supply in a protective gas connection 9 and passes there via the bore 10 in the intermediate space eighth

  • the cooling fins 13 provide in the section in which they are arranged, a surface enlargement of the Strom.rohres 6 and thus a more intense and extended contact of the past the cooling fins 13 protective gas with the Strom.
